Look i bought these tyres thinking they are are the premium tyres made in Japan.
They are Not.
Yes they may be made under Yokohams stringent measures.
But they are not manufactured in Japan.
I feel a lot ripped off.
$183 A TYRE.
To be made on the Phillpines i qouldnof bought something else.
Maybe they are great quality cant say but i laid for a premium tyre which i thought was Japanese made.

Has these fitted 215/55R17 to replace Michelins. Ara a bit noisier. Have had less life, but can't really complain though. Got 60K out of these, but got about 90k out of the Michelins. Would go back to Michelin for the next set.

I've recently replaced my Khumo tyres with these Yokohamas and they seem to be a much better tyre. The road noise is reduced and there's far less roll in the corners. Price wise they were very good value for a mid level tyre compared to nearly all the name brand ones. All in all I'm very happy with my choice!

Yokohama bluearth-a ae50 216/60 fitted on a ba falcon wagon two years ago. Eight out of ten for noise when new, going to seven out of ten from mid life onwards. They have done 27000kms now, I expect the tyres to last about 30,000kms. 10% of these were when towing a 1.5 ton caravan. Handling and grip was good to very good. I would not buy these again. I shall try to purchase tyres that will last a bit longer.

I have them on my magna and the traction and control are great. They handle large amounts of water with ease and dirt is no problem either. Would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good all rounder. Great comfortable ride and low road noise highly recommend this tyre

- Replace the old Bridgestone tyres with Yoko and I feel they are very quieter, drive perfectly.
- I would recommend this to friends and members in my family.
- I bought the tyres at genuine Honda Service but you could have better price as Costco with the same quality.

235/45/17 size, got them on the 4 for 3 deal around easter 2016, and it has been on the road for about 10k kms since then.

1, happy about the durability, still heaps of depth left
2, low noise on motor way, you only hear noise of wind between sydney and canbera
3, not much difference on fuel consumption compare to previous oem continantal tyres
4, as this is a family car, we don't do any harsh driving, so not sure about brakes and handing at extream cases, but good enough for everyday commute.

One of the Old 4 Michelins had a unrepairable punch. It's already 87K, so just replace all 4 of them. Get a buy 3 for 4 deal. Told they are quiet and suitable for my Nissan Maxima. All done in an hour. Drives perfect. They are quieter than Michelin, and the fuel consumption went down a lot, maybe because they are new. Anyway I absolutely recommend them for those Mid sized Non Performance car owners.

Early days yet but so far theses tyres (215/60/16) on a heavy car feel very smooth, quiet and turn in well on both wet and dry roads.. Especially quiet on rough roads, better than previous Yokohama Cdrive 1&2 and at reasonable price $135 Aus each. Only concern is how long they might last going from others reviews - time will tell.

When I read the other reviews on this product here, I am rather dubious about their authenticity. We can't be discussing the same tyre.

Had a good run with Yokie AE-01's, I thought the AE-50 would be better, or at least as good. Having done about 2,000km on them I am sorely disappointed - they are noisier and their wet grip is nothing to write home about. If I had my time over I would definitely get something else.

Only travelled 3000 km and very quiet.
99V load rating and appear to be shock absorbing over rough road and pot holes with tyre pressure 35/35 psi, good ride over rough road.
Made in Philippines.
Tread appears to have a good wide foot print compared to Bridgestone EP100.
Wet weather & dirt road grip is very good.
No tyre balance issue as yet, initially had a balance problem but this was due to a damaged rim. Once replaced no vibration.
Purchased at Bob Jane buy 3 get 4.
Will update as time goes on.

I got these for an Audi A4 and they are a fantastic tyre (they replaced the original Pirelli P7's). Very quiet and have driven on them for just over 5,000kms in one of Melbourne's wettest winters. The grip is great and very predictable in the wet (stopping and around corners). The rolling resistance is supposed to also be low - which should save fuel, but I haven't seen much difference in the fuel economy over the last 5,000kms (but that's probably my driving!). Great value from Bob Jane with buy 3 get 4th free deal.

If you're keen to hang on in the wet, have a smooth quiet run in dry conditions and want a tyre that won't be bald after six months of normal driving, put these new Yokohama's at the top of your list. I'd put the 215/60-16's I've got now, and the 225/45-17's I had on my previous car, bang on level terms with Potenza RE001's for grip, noise and wear, but at a much better price.
